Saving online presentation with slides and streaming media using screen capture software

The simplest way to save any online presentation with streaming media is by using Screen capture software. Such programs can record anything from your screen. Some screen capture software programs can even record audio as well as video. You may also prefer to use other methods described below.

Saving online presentation with slides and streaming media using Offline Exlorer PRO/Enterprise

When Downloading/Ripping/Capturing/Recording/Saving an online presentation (streaming media with slides) which content is described by a SMIL metafile (simple text file with .SMI or .SMIL extension) Offline Explorer Pro/Enterprise (OEP/OEE) might be the best choice. If there is a complete presentation including text, links, pictures, or anything else (.rm, .ra .rp, .rt, .swf, .jpg, .gif, .bmp) in addition to just the streaming media file, then OEP/OEE will be able to properly get the majority of such files (although it depends on a format of SMIL metafile).

OEP/OEE provides support and extracts links from Java and VB Scripts, Java Classes, Cascading Style Sheets (.CSS), Macromedia Flash (.SFW), XML/XSL/DTD, Table Of Contents (.TOC), MPEG 3 Play List (.M3U), Authorware (.AAM), Acrobat (.PDF), RealMedia (.SMIL, .RAM, .RPM), VRML (.WRL, .WRZ), QuickTime video (.MOV) and MS NetShow Channel (.NSC) files. It can process JavaScript calculations to find even more links. Besides it can record Windows Media streams (HTTP, RTSP and MMS), Real Media streams (HTTP, PNM, RTSP), QuickTime streams (HTTP), MP3 HTTP audio streams.

Saving online presentation with slides and streaming media manually or using automation software

If an online presentation runs its slides in a browser or player window, there is no stream recorder I know that can help you to record it. But you may save media stream(s) without slides using any stream recorder. Also you may save the HTML slides whether manually or using some automation software which saves your browser content periodically. After that you may run your HTML slides manually or edit your media clip so that it runs the local slides (special software required supporting such editing).

As for presentations which slides are controlled by client-side scripts (JavaScript, VB Script), you may save your browser content whether manually or using some automation software. Although in this case it will be hard to make your slides running locally and synchronously with the media clip unless you are not a computer geek.
